The CHARD 5 Tray Dehydrator equips you to dehydrate your own jerky, fruit, or herbs. The digital timer and temperature display with auto-shut off lets you lock in on the proper heat for whatever you're preparing - low heat for fruits and herbs and higher heat for meats. The convection drying system allows for better air flow through the unit resulting in evenly dried results without the need for rotating trays. The unique rectangular tray design provides more drying surface area. This dehydrator includes 5 trays and is expandable up to 25 trays for larger drying jobs and has a clear cover for convenient viewing during use. Cover and trays are top rack dishwasher safe.
